"Very friendly people to talk with, with plenty of shade to enjoy being outside. There is a “Frisbee golf course “ for all ages and great paths to take your dog for a walk."
"Easy access to pull through sites with ample space between the sites. Nice clean bathrooms with showers! Electric and water worked great. Would definitely stay again."

"Nice BLM area right next to the Snake River and only 10 minutes from Shelley."
"Dirt road with easy access goes to a wide open gravel area but opportunities to be right next to the river with an AWD vehicle."
"Location great close to town for shopping and stay the night if you’re heading to the Tetons. Does not have any access to snake river. The showers were hot. Has a cute little snack and gift shop."
"Short drive from the campground to some restaurants, gas stations, grocery store, etc in the area. There are 2 bar/grills walking distance from the campground. Has a Heated pool."
"About thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit."

"The weird - you exit by the fertilizer plant. 😬 Then drive through an RV and Boat storage facility."
"Looking for electric site around Pocatello, ID due to extreme heat. Easily made a few day reservation for one of their 12 Pull Through, FHU sites."
TravelerIncredible Mountain View’s. Several pull outs on gravel road. Not a problem with 24’ Class C. There are other trials for ATVs but plenty of nice spots for RVs or tents!
TravelerUpdate-now private property signs have been put up all over just past the first opening so you can’t get to the open area that is good for larger RVs. Have 24’ class C and the dip to get into the camping area was steep and tipping. Couldn’t see river from area as it was very overgrown. Should have taken a picture before we left, but we were in too big of a hurry to get out of there and find a spot for the night.
ScoutWe arrived here around 8:30pm after the sun set so we couldn’t really see much. Had the doors and windows open all night, wonderful breeze, quiet except sounds of nature. Woke up to an amazing sunrise and sound of the creek. Just lovely and it’s Free!
TravelerLarge spaces with plenty of room between. Clean and paved. Only complaint is super loud railroad tracks, but they give you ear plugs lol.
ScoutPark for Rvs, bathrooms and laundry rooms really clean. Just in the town with everything at walking distance
GuideThis place is right off the highway so it made it a super easy spot to get to for a quick overnight stay. There were other campers and everyone was quiet and respectful, the spaces are spread out a nice distance so that we aren't right next to our neighbors. You can hear highway noise but it wasn't too bad, and the view is a pretty rolling hills.
RangerBeautiful spot 4 x 4 recommended for most spots. There were man-made fire rings. Totally pack and pack out no toilet in the area. The spot was beautiful. We camped along the river and found amazing sites after we were leaving that we’re very high up if you like to disperse camp and you want to be along a river, highly recommend
GuideThis campground is right off the highway so there is some noise but not bad. Well run campground with clean bathrooms and showers. Fun playground for kids and lots of room to run around. Right down the road of town and the hot springs.
GuideCampground is well maintained with lots of mature trees.
Signage could have been better to navigate to sites but the campground isn’t too big so you can make do.
The trains. All night long. They were loud and constant. Between 1am and 5am there were many that were every 20-30 minutes. Perhaps a site further away from the tracks would be better but we were closest to them and it was awful. (For the record, we live near train tracks and don’t mind the distant sound of trains through the night at home.) Obviously not the campgrounds fault but sleeping was rough.
